    Bought Used Dillion 550B Today

    Paid $1000.00 for everything seen on table, plus some spare parts not in picture. Is that about right? .223, 9mm, .45 ACP, .357, .44. I have no idea what half the stuff is for, so I have a lot of reading to do.

    I'd say you did really well ESPECIALLY if you plan on reloading any/all of those calibers. .223, 9 mil, and .45 auto seem to be pretty popular to reload, so hopefully you're on board with those.

    Also, you are pretty lucky to find used Dillon stuff. When I was on the hunt, no one was selling their Dillon press.

    Good job!

        I think you did very well! From what I see in the picture, all you need is bullets and you should be well on your way.

          You paid a fair price, much less than buying new, for sure. You could probably part it out for almost twice that on ebay, people pay stupid prices for reloading stuff on there. I'd keep it though, that's good kit right there.

              Thanks all, as I was driving home I began to doubt myself. Thanks again.

                  Nice Find!
                  Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

                  I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

                  Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

                        Wow that’s a great find for you.. good for you!. The only thing I don't see is a strong mount for the press? You’ve got a lot of high end $$$ stuff there so you really made out well..

                        Here a link to the mount I talking about..

                        Dillon Precision is the premiere manufacturer of firearm ammunition reloading equipment in the USA. We sell reloaders, reloader accessories, firearm accessories and gear to retail and B2B customers.


                        I’ve been using the 550 for years now, so if you have any questions feel free to pm me, I know what everything on the table is and how to use it..

                          Definitely looks like a good deal to me. As Linkpimp stated, you might want to invest in a strong mount and roller handle. Not needed, but makes it easier.

                            Ya you're right, but I still need to build/buy a work bench. Definitely something I need to buy. Thanks all.
